One of the apps that could help you with that is ScienceDaily. It's a nice application that provides users with all the latest science articles from top universities and publications. It makes it easy to navigate and find content that you like.
Intuitive UI with some features
It's always nice to come across applications that launch with a tutorial or at least some instructions, in order to provide new users with some guidance when they check out a new app.
ScienceDaily doesn't come with a presentation of its features, but it does have material design and a side menu that allows users to check out all sort of sections inside the app.
You'll also find a settings menu with some changes that you can make to the app's UI and its functions. The interface takes a while to load, so you'll have to be patient with that, about a few minutes at least.
Browse through all sort of interesting articles
The main menu is filled with various articles that you can choose from, the cover story is displayed at the top of the screen, scroll down to check out more. All articles come from major news services and leading universities, scientific journals, and research organizations.
It displays the latest stories on the top of the screen, together with the time and date. The side menu is filled with all sort of topics that you can choose from, including health, tech, environment, society, space, time and more.
More tools and features, together with some flaws
The side menu also allows users to access the desktop version of the app and search for articles in the archive. You can enlarge font size, bookmark articles to find them faster and share stories with friends on social networks.
Unfortunately, the app has some flaws. Aside from the fact that it takes a while to load, it may also crash at times. Information inside the app isn't refreshed as often as you'd like and it doesn't come with the option of adjusting notifications. Other than that, it could use the option to save articles for offline reading.
